Meghan O'Rourke in Slate

On an only vaguely related note, I have been consumed recently with the feeling that my true calling in life is to write essays! (Since I have equally been procrastinating on writing the actual essay that's next in the work queue, I am not sure that this is sensible--more like what you get when you're suffering the pains of worrying about novel-publishing and academic-book-finishing [I've got one more chapter and the introduction to write, but of course it's less fun writing the last 40% than the first 60%--like filling in the last pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, satisfying but not so brain-stretching...].)

About Me

I have published four novels and two books about eighteenth-century British literature; my latest book is "Reading Style: A Life in Sentences." I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
